Your stand at IBTM World captures the attention of the meetings and events industry
IBTM World is the leading global event for the MICE industry (meetings, incentives, conferences and business events) and takes place every year at Fira Barcelona Gran Via. In front of more than 12,000 professionals from all over the world, a conventional stand goes unnoticed. We have been designing and building stands at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via for more than twenty years, IBTM World among them.
At Contemporanea Eventi we design, manufacture and install your custom stand for IBTM with in-house carpentry and production in our Barcelona workshop, minutes from Fira Gran Via. We have spent more than 20 years turning square metres into spaces that generate meetings and business contacts, with a craft finish and sustainable materials.

From the first sketch to the dismantle at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, IBTM World is our responsibility and your opportunity. One team handles IBTM World from end to end. The IBTM World concept is designed and then made with in-house carpentry in Barcelona before it goes to Fira de Barcelona Gran Via.

Exhibition stands we have built for corporate brands and events
With more than 20 years of experience, we have designed and built exhibition stands for corporate and technology brands at Barcelona’s leading trade shows. We start from a photo-realistic 3D design, manufacture with our own carpentry and sustainable materials, and take care of every finish to convey professionalism and trust to a business audience.
What your IBTM World stand needs, depending on what you exhibit
A stand that works at IBTM is not improvised. Three principles decide whether a IBTM World stand does any business.
01
Destinations and convention bureaux
A destination arrives with several bodies under one name. We build a host structure with individual positions, so each partner has its own counter and the pavilion still reads as a single destination.
02
Hotels and venues
A hotel sells an experience, so the stand has to be a fragment of it. We use real materials and lighting from the property rather than photographs of them.
03
Event technology and services
Event technology is demonstrated on screen. We plan demonstration positions with their own data and power, kept out of the traffic flow so a serious prospect is not left standing in a corridor.
04
DMCs and receptive agencies
IBTM runs on scheduled appointments. We maximise the number of usable tables per square metre, with enough separation for two negotiations to run side by side.
A reusable stand that goes with you edition after edition
IBTM World is an annual fixture in the MICE calendar. Companies that return to IBTM World year after year get a reusable structure: same identity, lower cost from the second edition onwards. A sustainable option.
Frequently asked questions about stands for IBTM World
We answer the most common questions from exhibitors preparing their stand for IBTM World Barcelona, from what the show is and its dates to the design, the logistics, the build and reusing the stand between editions. If your IBTM World question is missing here, send it across.
What is IBTM World?
IBTM World is the leading global event for the MICE industry (meetings, incentives, conferences and business events). Every year it brings together more than 12,000 professionals in Barcelona (event organisers, destinations, hotels and suppliers) to network and generate business over three days.
When and where does IBTM World 2026 take place?
IBTM World 2026 takes place from 17 to 19 November 2026 at Fira Barcelona Gran Via. It is the meetings and events industry’s flagship annual show and has been held in Barcelona for almost two decades.
What does a stand need in order to stand out at IBTM World?
A strong brand identity, a visually striking structure, screens and interactive displays to present your destination or service, carefully planned lighting and furniture and private meeting areas to close deals. We design every element to capture the attention of a professional MICE audience.
Is our IBTM World stand custom-built or a modular system?
Both. A IBTM World stand can be fully bespoke, modular and reusable, or a combination designed around your budget.
Do you also handle transport and the build at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via?
Yes, we work turnkey. We manufacture minutes from Fira de Barcelona Gran Via and handle the transport, the build and the dismantle for IBTM World, within the venue rules and schedules.
Can I reuse the stand at the next IBTM edition?
Yes. We design reusable exhibition stands made to go with you from one IBTM World edition to the next, keeping your brand image, cutting costs and generating less waste.
Who exhibits and who visits IBTM World?
IBTM World brings together hosted buyers and professional buyers, event organisers, agencies, destinations, hotels and suppliers from the MICE industry, with a strongly decision-making profile. In front of an audience that compares dozens of exhibitors in three days, your stand has to convey credibility and make conversation easy: that is why we design it with meeting areas and a solid brand image.
IBTM World 2026 takes place at Fira Barcelona Gran Via
